Glen Johnson, a former player for Chelsea, has warned Mauricio Pochettino about Levi Colwill and expressed serious concerns about the defender.
Colwill is versatile and has operated in both left and centre defender positions for Pochettino.
This season, he has not missed a Chelsea Premier League match under Mauricio Pochettino.

After an outstanding loan at Brighton, the 20-year-old has made a name for himself in the Blues starting lineup.
Colwill might be “found out” and “isolated” in the left-back position when playing against an opponent, according to Johnson, who has now encouraged Pochettino to cease employing them.
Johnson told Compare Bet, “If you asked Levi Colwill, he probably wouldn’t tell you he wants to be playing left-back.”
Since I need to have some pace to play full back, he doesn’t have the fastest speed and appears to be playing out of place.
The manager’s confidence in him to play minutes is commendable, but it would be better to use him at centre back, where he excels.
“He reads the game well, has good passing mechanics, and is technically sound; he just needs the right players to surround him.”
“If he gets isolated out there, he could be discovered at left-back.”
